Brief Description: It's airworthy !!
|
|
Arranged for the local DAR to come and inspect the plane today.
The weather was dry, a balmy 50 degrees. Rolled the plane out to the driveway, lowered the wings, put in a gallon of gas, and test ran the engine for the second time to check again for any leaks before the inspection.
Jeff arrived about 1pm and we completed the necessary paperwork. I had done the preliminary on the forms I submitted, and Jeff used that info to fill out his version of the forms, correcting a couple of errors on entries I had made.
We went out to the plane where Jeff went through his inspection check list, asking questions and had me demonstrate the operation of the various controls to check for proper rigging and operation. Overall a very thorough inspection. Jeff was great to work with and I really appreciated his expert observation and opinions.
We went back and completed the paperwork, including the airworthiness endorsement in the airframe logbook, as well as giving me the pink airworthiness certificate and a sheet of operating limitations. His final comment, "Too bad we didn't do this at the airport, you could go take it for a flight".
I should mention that the EAA version of the airframe log has preprinted pages with the appropriate statements to complete and sign for the certification, after phase one testing, and after annual conditional inspections. Very usefull reminders to finish up and maintain the certification requirements.
So what was involved to get to this point? Logged contruction was about 1314 hours over an actual build period of about 20 months, or a little over 2 hours a day average.
Next step is to get the optional wing locks built to move the plane to the airport and apply for the repairman certificate.
